L303 east clear DD CH104.3 at 15:22. CSX duo #5407 + #3275. 67 cars. 3720 in length.
Before L303 got to CH100.5, believed to have heard a train east of me so after 303 went to investigate. EB grain train on siding with lights on. Didn't get close enough to see numbers but 2/2 is a YN2. Not sure if G802-12 is the outgoing symbol as it was arriving to GL.
----- on the move east from Grand Ledge CH99.15 at 16:07. CSX duo #3288 + #446 (YN2)
----- through Williamston at 17:10

L303 left a track light on in Fowlerville so the grain train will have to run through the siding there. Howell pass is full of cars from GLC. L302-25 is at Brighton I believe, what sounded like 336 as its leader.
19:47 - someone called the signal at WE Brighton, too much static to hear anything else.
19:50 - G801-21 calling clear for the EE of Brighton, sounded like it was engine 3288 leading.
19:55 - L302-25 calling a slow clear, main to siding at WE Brighton.
23:22 - B235-22 Clear EE South Lyon. Crew van at WE South Lyon to pick up crew. G801 + B235 were taking up both tracks in Plymouth. Guessing they moved B235 to South Lyon to clear up one of the mains. Looks like they split the train between both the main line and siding in South Lyon.

What's B235? I can't find it in the symbol wiki. It looked like there was a train just west of Lake street crossing when I left for work at 240a this morning. Couldn't wait around to see if it was doing anything.
P371 arrived to Bangor, MI station at 07:28 with aofrementioned IDTX #4603 and 3 SuperLiners. 8 people boarded. Departed Bangor Station for Chi-Town at 07:31

“B” trains are usually bulk commodities trains, meaning they are pulling one type of car. It could be all gasoline tankers, all ethanol cars, etc
